[volt-nuts] Trimming the LTZ1000 tempco

I would take the output voltage between pins 3 and 7 and leave the
resistor "outside". There is already a diode between the op-amp output
and the zener cathode and the diode must be much less time and
temperature stable than a resistor.

Or did I misunderstand something again?
